Doing business with real estate agencies in Japan

Agencies must be licensed under the Real Estate Brokerage Act, and property advertising follows strict industry rules. Proposals around listing management, photos and digital contracts are practical, since electronic contracts became allowed in 2022.

January to March is the peak moving season in Japan. Contact agencies from April to December, and avoid Wednesdays, when many agencies are closed.
